A NEW play from one of the region’s most inspiring playwrights also marks her acting debut.
Alison Carr, of Bishop Auckland, survived a hit-and-run car accident aged nine and was in a coma for several weeks.
Now a poet and writer, she made her acting debut in Matryoshka at Stockton Arc on Wednesday and appears in the play tonight at Woodhouse Close Church Community Centre.
It involves three generations of women telling the story of the doomed Romanov dynasty during the Russian Revolution.
The play, funded by Arts Council England, Durham County Council and the Arc, is directed by Vici Wreford-Sinnott of Saltburn-based Little Cog Theatre Company.
Tickets to tonight’s performance at 7.30pm cost £6 or £5 concessions, and are available at the door.
